Findings: 
1.
The Mixed Use (Areas C, D and Northwest Area Only) land use designation
accommodates Commerce Park, Industrial, Commercial and Public/Quasi-
Public type land uses. The proposed single-family residential development is
not consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation, therefore a
land use map amendment is required.
Attachment  E

2. 
Property owners who want to rezone property in the infrastructure phasing 
overlay area prior to the removal of the infrastructure limit line, as detailed in 
the North Black Canyon Corridor Plan, may file a general plan amendment to 
remove the overlay from their property. Because the infrastructure limit line still 
applies to this property and new utility service is needed, a general plan 
amendment is required to remove this designation from the subject site. 
 
 
3. 
The proposal for residential development is appropriate given the site’s 
location adjacent to a major transportation corridor and in close proximity to a 
major employment center.
 
 
4. 
The proposed infrastructure limit line removal for this property is appropriate 
due to the limited extension of services needed to serve the proposed 
residential development.
